The Challenge
Shreenathji Temple in Nathdwara welcomes a large number of devotees daily. Managing access securely while ensuring smooth entry was a challenge due to:
- Delays caused by manual verification.
- Risk of unauthorized access or ticket fraud.
- Difficulty in handling large pilgrim volumes efficiently.
The Solution
A Devotee Access Management System integrated with turnstiles was introduced to automate and secure temple entry.
- Advance Enrollment: Devotees pre-enroll by submitting their facial image and ID details. Data is stored in a centralized facial database.
- Seamless Entry: On arrival, live face is captured through DigiSuraksha-enabled terminals.
- 1:N Face Match: The system compares the live face against the central database.
- Automated Turnstile Access: Upon successful match, the turnstile gate opens automatically, granting entry without tickets or manual checks.
Benefits
- Faster, contactless entry – devotees experience reduced waiting times.
- Secure authentication – eliminates ticket fraud and impersonation.
- Scalable system – capable of handling large crowds efficiently.
- Enhanced devotee experience – smooth and seamless access.
✨ Impact: Shreenathji Temple successfully modernized its devotee entry system, ensuring a blend of tradition and technology that delivers both security and convenience.
